It is UK Government Policy to ensure our historic military shipwrecks are offered appropriate protection and management. In September 2024, Wessex Archaeology in partnership with the Ministry of Defence, completed a non-intrusive survey of the wreck site of HMS Victory 1744. The findings will enable the Ministry of Defence to continue protecting the site. The site of HMS Victory 1744 is one of a number that UK Government monitors.
